The problem with using the API (at least in 3.5.x haven't used 4.x yet)
is that changing roles puts the user into the system via a filter and
they are not logged out after being off the network for the specified
amount of time. Also I think it would be helpful for folks who are
registered in CCA with a filter to get the same announcement (so a
redirect after login would not suffice either). I know that the
announcement could be considered intrusive to some users, so we want to
make the impact minimal, but still effective.

everything is blocked.  Then you would change the "block" page to the
information you want to present.  Once the user reads (or doesnt) the
message, there's a little submit button that changes his/her role back
to the previous one via the api (keyed by IP)
